Hey! This is my first fanfic so please read and review! :) This takes place after the ending of the manga. Hehe enjoy!

Amu's POV

"Yo Amu," a familiar voice whispered behind me. I spun around and found myself staring directly into the beautiful midnight blue eyes of Ikuto. Tsukiyomi Ikuto.

"W-what?" I said startled and somewhat demandingly.

"Aw, you're blushing," he teased with a smirk on his face.

"N-no I'm not! You're imagining things!" I shouted flinging my arms. Am I blushing? I could feel my cheeks turn a light shade of red. Ugh, I am.

"Well what do you want? I thought you were leaving to find your father!" I yelled.

"I am in two days. You miss me already, don't you?" he scoffed, examining my face. He tilted my chin with his hand, coming closer to my face.

My heart started to beat faster and I quickly stumbled back. "W-what are you doing?" I stuttered. I looked away from his mesmerizing eyes, fiddling with my fingers. "And what makes you think I'm gonna miss you? Cause I'm not going to miss you at all!" I know I said that, but…

"I'm gonna miss you a ton though," he sneered, "A-mu." He came closer again and wrapped his arms around my neck. "Which is why I want to spend my remaining time here with-"

I quickly interrupted him. I wanted to tell him the truth. "Ne, Ikuto…" I trailed off.

"Hm?"

"When do you think you're gonna be back?"

"I don't know, soon hopefully," he shrugged, "Can you not stand the thought of me leaving you behind?" He smirked.

My cheeks turned a brighter shade of red. My heart pounded faster. It was the truth. I was going to miss him. A lot. A lot more than he thinks. A lot more than I ever thought.

"N-no, it's not that." I paused and thought about what I should say next. "But I am going to miss you. Just a little bit." Lies Amu! Lies! I hated to admit it, but the thought of Ikuto leaving was depressing. Not because I like him or anything. That pervert.

"You're not being honest with yourself, Amu," he chuckled.

I grumbled. As I much as I hate the truth… "F-fine. Maybe I am going to miss you more than I had originally planned! S-so what? Maybe I can't stand the thought of you leaving. Maybe I don't want you to go!" What did I just say? I was shocked at my sudden outburst, and it looked like Ikuto was too.

"A-amu…" he said with his eyes wide. He shook his head and grinned, putting one hand up to his forehead. "Honestly… what am I going to do with you?"

I stared at the ground. My face was as red as a tomato. No way was I letting him see that.

"Is it because you like me?" he smirked.

Oh my goodness. "Why would I like a pervert like you?" I yelled.

"I don't know why, but you do." Actually, I knew why. There were a billion reasons why. Maybe even more. But I'm not admitting that anytime soon.

"I don't like you!" I protested.

"No you don't… you love me," he teased. I don't know why, but I didn't know what to say. I couldn't say anything.

Ikuto's POV

That child. Now that you've said all that, how am I supposed to leave you?

"But you know, Ikuto…"

"What is it?"

"You annoy me. You're a pervert. You're a playboy. You say I'm a child when you are a child yourself. You tease me. You make fun of me. But… I'm still really glad that I got to meet you." No, glad wasn't the right word. I was beyond glad. Beyond thankful. "The thought of not having you around being the perverted playboy you are makes me sad. You've helped me so much and I don't think I can ever repay you for that. A-and I-"

Amu's eyes were trying to avoid mine. Her beautiful honey eyes. Along with that cute flustered face. Amu, you really have no idea. You've helped me in ways you can't even imagine. You expect me to leave you when you suddenly tell me all this? I don't think I can. Amu, I want you. I want you more than anything in this world. I love you more than anything in this world.

I looked into her eyes and immediately melted away. They were so bright and innocent. "I love you," I said.

There was a short silence but Amu ruined it by coldly whacking my head. "There you go again, Ikuto," she huffed. "You're always joking around with me! That was like, the what? The third time you've told me that?" She pouted, crossing her arms.

Baka. I wasn't joking. But I'll let her believe that. I picked her up like a princess.

"I-Ikuto? What are you doing? Let me go!" She struggled relentlessly, but it was no use.

"Let's go, A-mu," I whispered into her ears. "Yoru, come out," I said, glancing at the bushes. Yoru, Ran, Miki, Su, and Dia all came out.

"Okay ~nyaa!" Yoru shouted. He made my cat tail and ears appear and I hopped off.

Amu's POV

Again? Geez… Ikuto's always going at his own pace.

"Where are you taking me?" I yelled, kicking my legs. His muscular arms held me firmly and I couldn't get off.

"Do you want me to drop you then? Right now?" he asked with a smirk on his face.

I looked down and saw how high we were up. He was jumping from skyscraper to skyscraper.

"N-no!" I heard muffled giggles behind me. "Amu's enjoying it, isn't she?" Ran asked cheerfully.

"You like this a lot don't you?" Miki questioned, jokingly.

"Now now, let's not make fun of Amu. She is just a girl in love desu," Su said.

"Shut up you guys!" I screamed, "I am not in love!"

I could see Yoru giggling to himself. I'm not in love with Ikuto! If I was in love with someone, it would be T-tadase! Yes. Most definitely Tadase! Tadase's kind and gentle and like a prince! But Ikuto's just a perverted play boy! A perverted playboy that's nice and unselfish and thinks of others before himself… What am I thinking? Ikuto is a perverted playboy cat! Nothing more, nothing less.

Before I knew it, Ikuto landed on the ground. There were two neat rows of cherry blossom trees. So pretty. I noticed that there weren't many people around. In fact, it was safe to say we were the only ones there.

"This is my secret spot. Not a lot of people know about this place, but my favorite taiyaki stand is down the corner."

"Oh. This is such a pretty place…"

"Yeah, it is. Amu, you should feel special. I've never told anyone about this place, but you."

"W-what? You haven't? O-oh." I stared at my feet. He didn't even show Utau this?

Suddenly, I felt his cool breath blowing into my ear. He was nibbling on my ear! I quickly scooted away from him.

"G-get away from me, pervert!" I put my hands out in front of me, ready to push him off in case he got any closer.

"I'm leaving," he said coolly walking off in the other direction. He threw his hand over his head and smirked. Ran and the others followed him.

"W-wait for me!" I yelled running to catch up with him.

Ikuto's POV

Stupid girl. "I thought you were the one who told me to stay away from me, hm?" I grinned.

"Y-yeah but only 5 inches!" she managed to say. I smirked.

"There's the taiyaki stand!" she called out, running in front of me. Her pink hair bounced up and down as she ran. She was wearing pink and black thigh high socks with black sneakers. Her top was white with black ruffles on the sleeves. Her skirt was a bit short and it swayed to the side as she ran, revealing her pink lace underwear. Cute. And sexy. I want her so bad.

"Hey Amu, nice choice of underwear!" I called.

"E-eh?" she said dumbfounded. There was a short moment of silence and then Amu's face turned red. "Y-you pervert! Ugh! Ikuto, you big pervert!" She coldly whacked my head. Typical.

"Let's get even then. I will show you mine." I leered.

"N-no! That's gross! Ugh, whatever. I don't care anymore. Just get me some taiyaki!" She cautiously pulled her skirt down. "It's just underwear anyways," I heard her mumble to herself.

There was a teen girl at the taiyaki stand.

"Hi! What flavor taiyaki do you want?" she asked. Then, she glanced over at me and started to blush.

"Hi," she said. She looked over at Amu and then back at me. "Is she your girlfriend?"

Amu immediately waved her hands and shook her head. "No way!" she yelled.

"Good. Didn't think so. She's way out of your league." She leaned forward, purposely exposing her cleavage. "I'm 17. How old are you?" She answered her own question. "I bet you're 17 too. But wow, you are the hottest 17 year old guy I've ever seen. No, the hottest guy in general."

She twirled her hair and smiled at me. She's so annoying. Shut up.

"If you want, you can call me. Whenever you need someone in bed or-"

Shut up already. I just wanted a chocolate taiyaki. "Actually, what I want is a chocolate taiyaki. Amu, what do you want?" I looked over at her. Her face was red. Not with embarrassment, but with anger. She smiled sweetly at me.

"I want a strawberry taiyaki. Oh, and I also want this girl to shut her mouth."

There was another moment of silence.

"Wait, do you have money?" she asked nervously. I shook my head.

"I thought you would," I said.

"Forget it, we'll come here some other time." I looked at the taiyaki girl. She was speechless.

"Wait, Amu. I've been to this taiyaki stand thousands of times. They've really lowered their employee standards. I should file a complaint to the owner. Bad customer service. Rude. Incorrect service. I mean, what is this? A strip club? Or a taiyaki stand? If I wanted some girl to sleep with, I would've already been to the strip club. But no, I want a taiyaki. Guess not…" I shrugged casually.

From the corner of my eye, I saw her smiling nervously. "I'm sorry for what I said before. Here, I will give you free taiyakis. Please don't file a complaint. I need this job."

"What do you say, Amu?" I asked.

Amu looked at the girl and saw in her eyes that she was being honest. "Fine," she declared, crossing her arms.

She gave us our free taiyakis, one of each flavor. As Amu walked off, I quickly talked to the girl.

"For your information, she's not out of my league. I'm actually her secret admirer. I share an unrequited love with her." I smirked and walk off, leaving the astounded girl behind me.

"Amu! Where are you going?" I yelled.

"Away from you!" she retorted.

"That's mean," I teased. I grabbed her and put her over my shoulder. "Yoru."

My cat tail and ears appeared again and I jumped.

A couple of seconds later, we were under my favorite cherry blossom tree. The one I carved my name into when I was younger.

I sat down with my back resting against the tree trunk and motioned for Amu to sit. Being the stubborn child she was, she on the other side of the tree with her back facing mine.

"Hm? Are you still mad about what she said?"

"I'm not mad at all! What makes you think that?"

Oh, Amu. Cute. "If it makes you feel any better, I don't think you're "out of my league" or whatever. I think you're sexy." I smirked.

"T-that doesn't make me feel any better at all! P-plus, I wasn't even mad to begin with! And what's up with that, you pervert!"

"If you're not mad, then sit here." I patted the area of grass next to me.

"F-fine!" She hesitantly scooted next to me. So stubborn, Amu.

We ate our taiyakis in quiet for a while. When I was starting my third one, I heard Amu giggling.

"Bahaha! Still eating from the tail first, huh? You really are a cat."

"Shut up."

"But this is really good. The best taiyaki I've ever had."

"Yeah."

Amu's POV

Ugh. I can't tell what he's thinking at all. My face is like an open book when I'm around him, but his face… it's impossible to read.

"Thanks for taking me here, Ikuto," I said gratefully.

"Like I said, I want to spend my remaining time with you."

Oh. Right. Remaining time…

Then, without even thinking about it, my mouth moved on its own. "Ikuto, I don't want you to go. Don't leave me."
